The scriptures below are from the WEB Bible.

1 Kings 3:7-9,
7) Now, Yahweh my God, you have made your servant king instead of David my father: and I am but a little child; I don‘t know how to go out or come in.
8) Your servant is in the midst of your people which you have chosen, a great people, that can‘t be numbered nor counted for multitude.
9) Give your servant therefore an understanding heart to judge your people, that I may discern between good and evil; for who is able to judge this your great people?


Proverbs 26:23-26
23) Like silver dross on an earthen vessel Are the lips of a fervent one with an evil heart.
24) A malicious man disguises himself with his lips, But he harbors evil in his heart.
25) When his speech is charming, don‘t believe him; For there are seven abominations in his heart:
26) His malice may be concealed by deception, But his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.


1 Kings 11:4-11
4) For it happened, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods; and his heart was not perfect with Yahweh his God, as was the heart of David his father.
5) For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.
6) Solomon did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and didn‘t go fully after Yahweh, as did David his father.
7) Then did Solomon build a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, on the mountain that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the children of Ammon.
8) So did he for all his foreign wives, who burnt incense and sacrificed to their gods.
9) Yahweh was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned away from Yahweh, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice,
10) and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he didn‘t keep that which Yahweh commanded.
11) Therefore Yahweh said to Solomon, Because this is done of you, and you have not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom from you, and will give it to your servant.


1 Corinthians 2:6-16
6) We speak wisdom, however, among those who are full grown; yet a wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nothing.
7) But we speak God‘s wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds to our glory,
8) which none of the rulers of this world has known. For had they known it, they wouldn‘t have crucified the Lord of glory.
9) But as it is written, "Things which eye didn‘t see, and ear didn‘t hear, Which didn‘t enter into the heart of man, Whatever things God prepared for those who love him."
10) But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
11) For who among men knows the things of a man, except the spirit of the man, which is in him? Even so, no one knows the things of God, except God‘s Spirit.
12) But we received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might know the things that were freely given to us by God.
13) Which things also we speak, not in words which man‘s wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things.
14) Now the natural man doesn‘t receive the things of the God‘s Spirit, for they are foolishness to him, and he can‘t know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
15) But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is judged by no one.
16) "For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct him?" But we have Christ‘s mind.


Proverbs 2:1-12
1) My son, if you will receive my words, And store up my commandments within you;
2) So as to turn your ear to wisdom, And apply your heart to understanding;
3) Yes, if you call out for discernment, And lift up your voice for understanding;
4) If you seek her as silver, And search for her as for hidden treasures:
5) Then you will understand the fear of Yahweh, And find the knowledge of God.
6) For Yahweh gives wisdom. Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.
7) He lays up sound wisdom for the upright. He is a shield to those who walk in integrity;
8) That he may guard the paths of justice, And preserve the way of his saints.
9) Then you will understand righteousness and justice, Equity and every good path.
10) For wisdom will enter into your heart. Knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.
11) Discretion will watch over you. Understanding will keep you,
12) To deliver you from the way of evil, From the men who speak perverse things;
